Greetings Issaquah PTSA Council members,
It is Golden Acorn time, my favorite time of the year, where we take a moment to express intentional gratitude for people who have done exceptional work this year. What a year it has been. Wherever you are this moment reading this, please take a moment to thank yourself. In my eyes, every member of council is worthy of a Golden Acorn this year. Through an unprecedented time of closed buildings and scattered, divided community, you have continued to lead and hold the community together. These jobs have never been easy, but this year, your exceptional leadership has happened in a virtual world, all while holding your own family together. It is humbling in such a beautiful way.
Gratitude is important for our own mental health as well as the health of our community. After you have thanked yourself (I am imagining us all actually saying thank you to ourselves out loud here), please take a moment to think about council members (this can be anyone on council including all of our unit presidents) who are deserving of extra recognition this year and fill out our survey.
Please do not worry if you do not know enough about the person to fill out all of the boxes. As a committee, we can do some of that work and we can always contact you for more information if we need it.
I know how busy we all are, but I also know that practicing gratitude for others, will bring us personal joy, as well as spread joy around. We live in an awesome community, and right now, we all need reminders of that.

Kristen, Laurelle and Cindy
